Freedom fighters sent out to the sun
Escape from brainwashed minds and pollution.
Leave the earth to all its sin and hate
Find another world where freedom waits.

Past the stars in fields of ancient void
Through the shields of darkness where they find
Love upon a land a world unknown
Where the sons of freedom make their home.

Leave the earth to Satan and his slaves
Leave them to their future in their graves
Make a home where love is there to stay
Peace and happiness in every day.

 

well it depends... i have too many. but my all time favorite is:

Before you slip into unconsciousness
I'd like to have another kiss
Another flashing chance at bliss
Another kiss, another kiss

The days are bright and filled with pain
Enclose me in your gentle rain
The time you ran was too insane
We'll meet again, we'll meet again

Oh tell me where your freedom lies
The streets are fields that never die
Deliver me from reasons why
You'd rather cry, I'd rather fly

The crystal ship is being filled
A thousand girls, a thousand thrills
A million ways to spend your time
When we get back, I'll drop a line

 

maybe its the time of year
yes and maybe its the time of man
and i dont know who i am but life is for learning
we are stardust we are golden and we've got to get our selves back to the garden

My favorite lyrics are from the song "At the Bottom of Everything" by Bright Eyes. The whole song is amazing; it's a story and song sort of combined on one track, and every verse is amazing, but these two really stand out:

"We must blend into the choir, sing a static with the whole
We must memorize nine numbers and deny we have a soul
And to this endless race for property and privilege to be won
We must run, we must run, we must run

We must hang up in the belfry, where the bats in moonlight laugh
We must stare into a crystal ball, and only see the past
And in the caverns of tomorrow with just our flashlights and our love
We must plunge, we must plunge, we must plunge"

~Nova

 

Kreator - Impossible Brutality

All I see is Terror
All I see is pain
All I see is mothers dragging children to their graves
A curse as old as time, An armageddon misery
Spectators of a World in ruins
Hypnotized I'm staring at

Impossible Brutality [x4]

Its all there was, Its all there'll ever be

All I see is violence
All I see is hate
All I see is tyrants dragging servants on a chain
A curse as old as time, An armageddon misery
Spectators of a World in ruins
Paralyzed I'm staring at

Impossible Brutality [x4]

Its all there was, Its all there'll ever be

How much more can you take
Propaganda mind control
From the cradle to the grave
Poisoned fruits to kill the soul
The weak following the blind
Fearful hearted empty eyed
In this mortal plane of slaves
Life's oppressors can not be destroyed

All I see is Terror
All I see is pain
All I see is mothers dragging children to their graves
A curse as old as time, An armageddon misery
Spectators of a World in ruins
Paralyzed I'm staring at

Impossible Brutality [x4]

Its all there was, Its all there'll ever be

And as your World collapses
I'll watch it die in silence
I wish this day would come now
Await it's dawning without fear

 

'I wear it for the thousands who have died
Believing that the Lord was on their side
I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died
Believing that we all were on their side...'

Johnny Cash - Man in black

 

"This vacation's useless
These white pills aren't kind
I've given a lot of thought on this 13-hour drive
I miss the grinding concrete where we sat past 8 or 9
And slowly finished laughing in the glow of our headlights
I've given a lot of thought to the nights we use to have
The days have come and gone
Our lives went by so fast
I faintly remember breathing on your bedroom floor
Where i laid and told you, but you sweared you loved me more"

dont know why but i just get goood memories when i hear this
There Is - Box Car Racer

 

I'll be here for hours...

No, I will just list a few and come back again and again and again. I can't pick a favourite...

"I have been guilty of kicking myself in the teeth,
I will speak no more of my feelings beneath" (Alice in Chains)

"Walls of thought strong and high
As my castle crumbles with time
I think of you" (Alice in Chains)

"Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow
What you need is someone strong to guide you" (TOOL)

"I'm just a hat and feet
That's all that's left of me
A spot on the sidewalk
A mark on the street
I'm just a hat and feet" (fountains of wayne)

 

"Skin the sun
Fall asleep
Wish away
The soul is cheap
Lesson learned
Wish me luck
Soothe the burn
Wake me up"- Nirvana-Dumb

"Would you believe me when I tell you
You are the queen of my heart
Please dont deceive me when I hurt you
Just aint the way it seems
Can you feel my love buzz"-Shocking Blue-Love Buzz

 

"Come Mothers and fathers throughtout the land
And don't criticize what you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command.
Your old road is rapidly aging...
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
For the times, they are a-changing"
-Bob Dylan

"Out here in the fields
I fight for my meals
I get back into my living.
I dont' need to fight
To prove I'm right
I don't need to be forgiven.
Don't cry
Don't raise your eyes
It's only teenage wasteland...
Sally, take my hand!
We'll travel south crossland!
Put out the fire and don't look past my shoulder.
The exodus is here!
The happy ones are near!
Let's get together before we get much older.
Teenage wasteland
It'd only teenage wasteland.
They're all wasted!"
-The Who

"We were killing time
Were young and restless
Needed to unwind.
I guess nothing can last forever
No."
-Bryan Adams



These are the most powerful lyrics of all times.

 

Basically most Black Sabbath Lyrics...

Just remember love is life, and hate is living death.
Treat your life for what it's worth and live for every breath.
Looking back I've lived and learned, But still now I'm wondering.
Here I wait and only guess what this next life will bring.



We sail through endless skies...

 

"And when they clean the street I'll be the only shit thats left behind..." from Elliott Smith's Rose Parade.

 

OH, so many to choose from...here are some from right now...

"Life is what happens to you
While you're busy making other plans" ---John Lennon, Beautiful Boy Lyrics

There was a window and by it stood
A mirror in which
He could see himself
He thought of something
Something he had never had but
Hoped would come along
Cry freedom, cry
From deep inside
Where we are all confined
While we wave hands in fire
Wave our hands --Dave Matthews, Cry Freedom

No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again ---Regina Spektor, On the Radio

I've been walking forty miles of bad road
If the bible is right, the world will explode
I've been trying to get as far away from myself as I can
Some things are too hot to touch
The human mind can only stand so much
You can't win with a losing hand -- Bob Dylan, Things Have Changed

 

Ah yeah. That whole song is really great lyrically.

One of my favorite songs lyrically of all time has to be "I Want You" by Third Eye Blind.

The suckers lose themselves
In the games they learn to play
Children love to sing but
Then their voices slowly fade away
People always take a step away
From what is true
That's why I like you around
I want you
Oh you do you do...
You make me want you
An open invitation to the dance
Happenstance set the vibe that we are in
No apology because my urge is genuine
And the mystery of your rhythm is so feminine
Here I am and I want to take a hit
Of your scent cause it bit so deep into my soul
I want you
Yeah, you do you do...
You make me want you
Oh you do you do...
Send me all your vampires
I want you
And I can't get enough, oh I can't get enough
And I can't get enough
The village church yard is filled with
Bones weeping in the grave
The silver lining of clouds
Shines on people Jesus couldn't save
You want to know how deeply my soul goes
Deeper than bones
Deeper than bones
And I can't get enough
Oh, I can't get enough
Oh, I can't get enough
Oh, I can't get enough
After we did it by the window sill
Smoke rings drift into the midnight sky
Presently in the quilt that your mother made
A candle burns to fight off the gloom
I said to live in this way is not for the meek
And like a jazz DJ you talk me into sleep
I said there'll be no regrets when the worms come
And they will surely come
You do you do...
Make me want you
Send me all your vampires
Yeah you do...
Make me want you
Send me all your vampires
I want you
Send me all your vampires
I want you
Send me all your vampires
Send me all your vampires
There will be no regrets when the worms come
Send me all your vampires

 

"Crazy
But that's how it goes.
Billions of people
Living as foes.
Maybe
It's not to late.
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate.
Mental wounds not healing
Driving me insane
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train"
-Crazy Train, Ozzy Osbourne

 

everything Craig Nicholls has ever sung

 

Is there a limit to how many I can put on here? We'll just do a series of parts.
Part I:

I'll have to go with that one too. And....

"The universe is hostile.
So impersonal.
Devoir to survive.
So it is.
So it's always been.
We all feed on tragedy.
It's like blood to a vampire"
-Vicarious, Tool

"Daddy's flown across the ocean.
Leaving just a memory.
The snapshot in the family album.
Daddy what else did you leave for me?
DADDY WHATELSE DID YOU LEAVE FOR ME!
All in all it was just a brick in the wall.
All and all it was all just bricks in the wall"
-The Wall, Pink Floyd (personal reasons)

 

Blind melon Soul one
How come, girl was there when I needed one
How come, girl was there when the song is done
Some say, open your eyes to a brighter light
Okay, open my arms they were right
She was my soul one
She felt she was the only one
She was the sun, the sky blue eyes
She was my soul one

Inside, pain in my heart often made her cry
Outside, I cursed the birds and the sugar sky
How long take to realize she's the one
How long until I find my lost and lonely soul one

She was my soul one
She felt like the only one
She was the sun, the sky blue eyes
She was my soul one

Should of never taken the time
'Cause I found myself living a lonely lie
You said, you left to find yourself
But I never, no I never got the chance to say good-bye

She was my soul one I though she was.......
